We're all in this together
once we know who we are
we're all stars
and we see that

"Nudge! Keep it down. You are the only teenager I know that still watches High School Musical." I said walking to her room. She huffed and turned the t.v. off. "Besides aren't you going to the mall?"

"Well, no. Mom said I couldn't go because I had to finish my chores." she sighed. "Well, then do them." I replied.

"I don't want to."

"Then come with me to the neighbor's. Turns out there's another meeting today, so I gotta watch the kids." I said.

"But can't Gazzy watch Angel? He's like 13." she said.

"Um, Nudge. This is Gazzy. He could blow up the house."

"Oh, right."

"So, you coming?" I asked her. She nodded. "Iggy! We are going to the neighbor's house. You wanna come?"

"No. I'm trying to get myself to pick up the phone and call Serena." he said.

"Oh, well, good luck with that." I said. Nudge knocked on the door. answered. "Hello. Are you watching, too, Nudge?"

We nodded. "Well, Max can use a little help. Fang is here, but he never pays attention to the kids. So you can ignore him." she told us. "Well, how wonderful" I muttered as we walked in.

Angel was watching a movie and Gazzy was doing a project. "Just make sure Gazzy works on that project for like an hour." their mom told us. "Alright. Bye!" I said as she walked out the door.

"Good afternoon, ladies. Have fun." said, also walking out the door.

I went to sit with Angel and Nudge went to go fix her hair. "Whatcha watching?" I asked.

"Grease." she said. "I saw that a couple weeks ago at Ella's birthday party. It was good." I replied. Now the guys were racing eachother. The main character-Sandy-was watching them and talking to the girl with pink hair.

"Oh. Look who's here." Fang said walking down the stairs. I smirked. "Yup. The good girl and-well- Nudge, walks in the house with the demon in it." I replied.

"Oh, your funny." he said. I rolled my eyes and got up to make something to eat for everyone. I looked through the cupboards and found nothing. Fridge, nothing.

"We don't have anything to eat." I whipped around to see Fang leaning against the table. "Then go get something." I said.

"Why me?" he asked. "Well, because I gotta watch the kids that your responsible for." I said, crossing my arms. He laughed.

I sighed. "Fine starve." I said.

"No. I don't starve. You do." he replied. "Um, people need me. So I can't die of hunger. You on the other hand..." I said, taking a step towards him. "Um, I got Lissa to take care of." he replied taking a step.

"Oh, she is your responsibility, and she can't take care of herself?" I asked, fake concern on my face. "That's not what I meant, Maxie." he said, taking a step closer to me. I laughed. "Ya, right. She can't live without a guy to do stuff for her."

I got even closer, about a foot away from him.

"She can do stuff just fine on her own." he replied, getting closer. "Oh, please." I said.

He leaned down, "Watch what you say, Max Ride. You might regret it." Our noses were almost touching.

Once he realized this, he reached his hand to my face and tucked my hair behind my ear. We leaned into eachother, and Nudge walked in, "When's dinner-oh, sorry!" she ran out, giggling. I pulled away quickly, and so did he.

I cleared my throat, not looking at him "So, what if I don't watch what I say?" I asked. He turned away, "You'll regret it." and left the kitchen. I sighed and looked in the fridge again. Well, there was leftover macaroni, and hot dogs.

I stuck the macaroni in the microwave and got plates out. When the mac and cheese was done I put the hot dogs in.

I made everybody's plates and went to the living room. "Okay, guys. Let's eat!"

They took their plates and sat down. I stayed at the counter and ate. Fang never came down from his room. I was afraid to go up there, so I ignored it. He can starve. "Max, are you and Fang dating, because he is still with Lissa. Although I prefer you." Angel asked.

I shook my head, "No way! Not even close!" Angel looked sad. "Alright. Why do you guys hate eachother?"

"Well, Fang is a lazy, stuck up jerk who needs an attitude check." I said.

"And Max is the same, but feisty." Fang said, walking in the kitchen. "Ugh. Please, that is impossible. I'm caring and nice." I replied.

I scooted over when he reached over me to get a plate. I heard giggles. Angel and Nudge were giggling. I figured out why.

Fang was leaning over me to get a plate, and I was trying to scoot, making me press up to him. He pulled back quickly and I bent my head down. "Um, ya, bye." he said and ran up stairs.

"I will never get girls. Or Fang, for that matter." Gazzy spoke up. I laughed and heard the door open. "Home!" a voice called.

I ran out and greeted them. "Gazzy worked the whole time. The girls watched Grease. Fang stayed up in his room. Except when he came down to eat." I told them.

They nodded and went to put their things away. "Thanks. See you Monday." they said as me and Nudge walked onto the porch.

We waved and started walking down the steps. "Looks like someones watching you." Nudge said. I looked up to the window on their second floor. Fang was looking at us. Well, me, to be specific. He saw me look up and pulled away so I couldn't see him.

My face was heating up and I continued to walk to our door.

"Hey." I said when we walked in the house. "Hi." Iggy looked up from the phone. "Still haven't called her?" I asked.

"Well, I did and she said she was busy so she would call me back at 8:30." He glanced at the clock. 8:28. I went up to my room and turned on my radio.

Standing out in the rain
knowing it's not really over
please don't leave me alone

Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas's voices echoed on the walls. Before the Storm was on the Jonas Brother's CD.

I turned it and You Belong With Me again came on. I opened my window to hear Fang on the phone with his girlfriend, because she's upset, going off about something that he said. Whoa. I listened to the lyrics to the song.

Your on the phone with your girlfriend
she's upset going off about
somethin that you said

Okay, weird.

She' wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
she's cheer captain
and I'm on the bleachers

Wow. Lissa wears skirts that are way too short, I do wear regular t-shirts. She is captain of the cheer thing.

You belong with me...
you belong with me.

Alright, I know I don't belong with Fang, that would be the worst mistake of my life.

She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
she's cheer captain and
I'm on the bleachers

Um...What does this mean? I looked down at my sneakers and out the window to an angry Lissa in high heels stomping to Fang's front door. I changed the song quickly.

Year 3000 came on. What is with all of the Disney stuff lately? And, anyway, isn't this song like 2 years old? When the Jonas Brothers were cute and wrote good songs? (no offense to any one who likes the JB's the way they r now, but they were cuter back then)

I just left the song on and got in the shower. I grabbed my towel and basketball shorts and tank top and headed to the bath room.

I got in and the warm water took all of my stress away. I breathed in the sent of my shampoo. Citrus. It was a scent that you would want to smell in the morning when you woke up.

I got out and got dressed. When I was done I brushed my teeth and hair.

Turning the radio up to listen to Next Contestant by Nickleback, I dried my hair some more. I happened to look out the window when Lissa and Fang were in sight, making out like the wackoes they were. "God, close your window if your going to share you spit with eachother." I yelled across the room.

They pulled away and Lissa gave me her death glare, although it didn't have any effect on me. I smirked. "I think you need to say please." she said, walking to the window. "Oh, alright. Please, Lissa, Fang, will you GET A ROOM!" I shouted.

She stormed downstairs and I watched her walk to her car. The bright pink mustang convertible waiting to be driven.

I laughed to myself. "Turn the music down, Maxie." Fang said. "Oh, am I bothering you with my music? I thought you would be mad, you know, considering you have no taste." I said.

He glared at me and I smiled innocently. He narrowed his eyes and turned away. Ha. Why is it that I always win?

"Mad? Huh, Fangy?" I asked. "No, not at all." he said, turning to me. "Are you sure?" I asked. "Ya. What bothers me is you being so nosy." he replied.

"Oh, well, sorry, but that's just the way I roll." Did I just say that? I didn't mean to.

I went downstairs.

"Ya, okay. Alright. Great. No, no. I'm not hurt. Ya, I'm sure. Thanks." Iggy said and hung up the phone. "You alright? Was that Serena? What was she doing? Did you ask her?" I asked. Wow, I hang out with Nudge too much.

"Um, I'm okay, that was her, I found out why I needed to call her back. She was on a date with Sam." he replied. Sam? I never thought such a nice girl would go for, ugh, Sam!

"I'm sorry, Iggy." I tried to comfort him. He shrugged.

I went to bed after that.

Hi! Please R&R! It would help me write more! And a good chapter, too. So, ya, review!
